Rogue Squadron copyediting request
So, you were one of the two people that listed video games in your list of interests on the volunteer list, so I'm hoping this article might pique your interest. I've been working on Star Wars: Rogue Squadron for awhile now, and I'm hoping to get it to GA quickly then move on to FAC right after. Any help you are willing to throw my way would be greatly appreciated, big or small! --TorsodogTalk 21:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)
- I'll try and add it to my stack at some stage, although I've been out of the videogame loop for a while though (I think they call it "metapedian"), but I'll do what I can. Gazimoff 18:15, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks! And no pressure. Whatever you can provide, whenever you can provide it is fine with me! --TorsodogTalk 19:46, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
RFA-related request for more eyeballs spam
I'm asking a few RFA regulars (no offense intended!) to review two threads I'm thinking of posting to WT:RFA at User:Barneca/RFA sandbox and give me a little feedback on:
- Whether you think I'd be wasting my time
- If you can think of any drastic improvements I could make prior to posting this
- Which option you think I should pursue (I don't think proposing both, and having people "vote", is a good idea; far too easily sidetracked)
- If you think there's a good Option 3 that I haven't considered
- Any other feedback you're interested in giving me
I'll probably post something to WT:RFA next week, after my schedule eases a little bit, so no critical rush to reply; you've probably got 5+ days before I post anything anywhere. If someone comes up with significant changes I think are good ideas, I'll probably delay even longer.
If you're interested, please post to the sandbox's talk page. If you are not Gazimoff/Archives/2009, but one of his talk page stalkers reading this, you're welcome to comment as well; I'm not trying to hide this from anyone, just iron out any obvious kinks before it goes live, to prevent minutiae from sidetracking the discussion (that seems to happen quite often). I'm hoping against hope that this leads to actual change, rather than fruitless discussion, so I really want to try to get all my ducks in a row before springing this on WT:RFA.
Thanks in advance, and sorry if this spam is unwelcome; I won't bug you again. --barneca (talk) 17:31, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
- I have talkpage stalkers? Where? In all seriousness though, I'll read through your proposals and try to give some reasonable feedback. Hope this helps, Gazimoff 18:11, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. At one point, the article was blanked by the original author, which is why I nominated it as G7. Thanks for the clarification as to how it should have been nominated. --Chasingsol(talk) 17:44, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
Re:Black Hammock Band

Do you have suggestions on how to make this page legal (i.e. not Blatent Advertising)? I'm new to contributing to Wikipedia and would like to know what works and what doesn't.
Please let me know!

Wikimania Oxford bid
Some time ago you indicated your support of the Oxford 2010 Wikimania Bid, and it was recieved with much gratitude. I now ask if you could could help support our bid by contributing to the bid page that is located at: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2010/Bids/Oxford. Now is the critical period for work to continue on the bid as the official bidding period has now started and the jury has been formed.
I do not ask for huge swathes of time, just enough that with eveyrone working on this, it can be completed in time to the high standard required in a bid. For the bid page, an excellent source of information is the travel wiki article on the City of Oxford which is found at: http://wikitravel.org/en/Oxford. The chance of bringing Wikimania to the UK is the best so far and i expect the best chance for many years. With a fresh and stong UK chapter we have an amazing opportunity to put ourselves on the map. If you have any questions, please mail them to the Wikimedia UK mailing list, email me or post a message on my talk page and i will answer as quickly as possible.
I look forward to working with you on the bid page. Many Thanks. Seddσn talk 15:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
